f>ell of this town, cays: "1 suffered for
Iva years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one coula tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardul, tho wo
man's tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the'other medicines 1 had
led, put together.
My friends began asking me why 1
looked so well, and 1 told them about
Cardul. Several are now taking it"
. Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache.
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly Urea
feeling?
If so. let us urge you to give Cardul a
trial, we feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.

STRIKING INTEREST
_________ i
LARGE CONGREGATION AT
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
SUNDAY NIGHT
WAS QUESTION
(Asking "Do You Want to Bs Q
Soldier?" and WAS WeU Il
lustrated Throughout.
Dr. Jolm E. Whit? preachM a
eerionn of striking interest to a
very largo congregation in the First
BaptiBt cUurch Sunday night. His
text was "Enduro hardness, as a cood
soldier of Jesus Christ." II Timothy
:3. His subject was, "Do you wont
to bo a soldier?"
"A remarkable sons" Dr. White
"aid, "is now being sung around the
world. It is entitled, 'I.did not raise
my boy to be a soldier.' It ls ?
Btartling. refrain. It sings, tho up
rising of motherhood against tho
folly and sin of war. Something has
happened, In the world ti?t entitled
Chis song to live, invostlng it with a
piercing appeal. W_-.t has happened?
Why simply this. War ha3 lost Its
glory, the soldier's trade ls in dis
repute. The Idea of a man devoting
his lifo to tue study of how to kill
his fellowmen, the Idea of men, with
only a. little while to live in thia
world at the best, absorbing them
selves in the profession of shooting
down ono another, is a dying Idea la
-the moral regard of mankind. It is
doomed, as ah an-achronhi'a, which
all the king's horses and all the king's
men will never drag back into tho
respect jof christendom. War hus
killed, war, the soldier'- business has
killed tho soldier's business. The
deed was dor.?, and is being done in
(Franco, in 'Belgium, in Poland, in
Servia, and at the 'Dardanelles. War's
false beauty has been torn off, showing
the hag. >. The old glamour of tho
soldier's trade ls overwhelmed and
buried out of sight uudcr its mass of
barbarism. Tho fifo and drum and
(*gay banners strive in vain to enliven
the/sordied brutality ot what ia ac
tually the fact of war in the trenches,
its hideous details ot brutalizing (hor
ror! Once men stood up face to
face on battle fields and died in tito
open. Now they He down, burrow Uko
moles, squirm under cover like snakes,
crawl on their hands and feet like
Jungle beasts. Chivalry has drop
ped out of war with a thud. It has
become, on its personal side, a sneak-j
[_lngt sulking business, a ditcher's Job.
Do you wonder us a little of the truth
if t'.:e modern soldier's trade, and on-. |
j ly a little of its actual brutality, has
filtered out from the European w?r
that a mother rocks her baby .boy to
Hleej> to the .efrain, 'I am not raising
my boy to be a soldier." From cbr
re?ponjl?nco which could .not b?' pre
vented, wo read the private letters
of tho mon tn the trenches,, telling of
thellaolllBh crulty, they aro compelled
to endure and participate in and . we
unow that- the Joy. of the soldier's
trade is dead, its chivalry la. gone for
ever.
. The authentic story has Just been
told from tho trenches, "In a.German
trench facing a British trench, ?Sae |
dorman soldiers raised a board paint
ed with-the-words, The British sol-1
dler Is a fqol?' . This was followed
immediately with another sign. 'The
French soldier Is a fool.* The .Brlt
lt'i and French"soldiers shouted lu
derision at tho insult, but tho next
sign, raised by the Germans read, 'We
are fools,* This ls the way the.boys
feel In the trenches of modern war.
?iy message to you tonight Is to nay j
ttihat thiu -world has got to find a sub
stitute tor war, a moral cgulvalent j
tor tho soldier's business. As we j
read "history and i observe human na
ture, wo aro compelled to see that I
ttis soldierly spirit is a grand thing.
On this ground - the ->only avgument>j
with a sclntlla.of sens? in it is rais
ed lu behalf- of war . Every other I
argument, and to some extent this j
ono, has been buried by tho Germans. '
For instance if they say that war iaas !
1>?an the xcetho? of human progress
and point to progress for proof, we
reply that war has depressed human,
progress, hindered learning, annuled
religion, and destroyed the'fittest of
every nation on its battle fields.;Hu

posing one another and wasting one !

that the animal wm ld whlt-V. accord- j
lngly aciones Includes tho haman
nui mal, is on the lovel of a gladiator's
show, that Hts is a coaunuous?|i??n

tile same courage and debatlesa valor
Incarnate In the soldier of Jesus
Christ. The ApoBtle Paul lived in
dally contact with militarism. He did
not shut hi.-, eyes to tho heroic and
noble qualities of thu Roman soldier.
But he knew that the basal ideal of
war was devilish and utterly con
trary to the Gospel of lovo and broth
erhood. He saw as wo seo today, that
the soldierly Bplrlt was to bo con
served and the soldierly virtues per
petuated. He stood up in the midst ol
ItRorhe's marching legions and pro
claimed himself every whit a soldier,
abandoned to his cause, devoted to his
commander, ready for the battle and
hungering to die- for men and truth.
Where did Pnul get this idea that there
was something finer, braver, and
mero heroic than the Reman sol
dWu.trade. Ho got lt from God; ho
got it fron. Jesus CUri3t. It was hts
gospel', Ihe good ncwB to a war
wrecked world. Christ showed him
that it was courage of a diviner order
I than Roman soldiers know, not to
fear but to lovo men, not to kill but
to die th nt man might live. The
fierce and vengeful Jewish soldier
of the sanhedrin, - he had been
breathing out threatening and-slaugh
ter, till ho met on the way to Damas
cus tho divine soldier of God who
Icu rca him nbt, and who having died
on a cross at Jerusalem for love'o dear
sake wos'-m'Ife'i-.tier than' he, a soldier
indeed. .He.sfoll down and worshipped
at tho feet of Him, a soldier of hato
surrendered to'tho soldicrhood of
Christ.
